NOVEL WEB Chapter 83: Chapter 83
The truth proved that even with Kurohane's eyes straining, he still couldn't see anything inside the Quantum Realm, except for a cluster of tardigrades swimming around him. There was no other benefit, nor did he absorb any so-called energy from the Quantum Realm. He was like the first-generation Wasp, absorbing energy from the Quantum Realm. Though he didn't know its use, he simply wanted to understand it, for the essence of Kamar-Taj magic was borrowing. Borrowing, like Zhuge Liang borrowing the East Wind and Jingzhou. As for when to return it, that was uncertain!
The Quantum Realm was also a realm. What if he could also communicate with a realm that even the Infinity Stones couldn't affect? He could also leave a magic book in Kamar-Taj, which would count as establishing a school of thought!
However, the time spent was too short, and he didn't have time to communicate anything. With a 'whoosh', he arrived at the future Avengers Base. He saw these future Avengers, besides the group of four—Tony, Steve, and the others—whom he had seen before, there was also a stout Thor whose veins were full of cheese, Colonel Rhodes who could only stand with mechanical assistance, a Hawkeye who looked like his wife had died, Rocket Raccoon who barely reached Thor's thigh, and Nebula who dared to show up after replacing the metal plates on her head, and Black Widow who hadn't had time to dye her hair, with half red and half white.
Everyone was there, nothing seemed wrong...
Kurohane: (eyes wide, shocked). Good heavens! Why is Black Widow here? Since you're not dead, why does Hawkeye still look like his wife died?! Oh, his actual wife really turned to dust. Alright, never mind.
"Kurohane, it looks like we're in big trouble!" Tony wore a sour face and shrugged helplessly at Kurohane.
"We didn't get the Soul Stone and the Power Stone back, so we're still missing two Stones. Therefore, we can't snap our fingers that would save half the life in the entire Universe. We've still failed!" Tony sounded desperate.
Kurohane's appearance was unexpected to the others. Tony and the other three didn't bring anything back, but they brought back this person from the future, someone they had never met before.
Kurohane greeted everyone very warmly and shook hands with each person. However, as he shook hands with Nebula, his hand darted out. He instantly punched Nebula in the face, then used a joint lock to pin Nebula to the ground, handcuffed her with special S.H.I.E.L.D. handcuffs, then he took a pistol from Nebula and pressed it to Nebula's temple!
Kurohane's sudden attack surprised all the Avengers, especially Rocket Raccoon, who pulled out a weapon larger than himself from somewhere. Mimicking Kurohane, he immediately pointed it at Kurohane's head!
"Put down your weapon! You brainless maniac!" Rocket shouted, his tiny teeth menacing.
"Kurohane! Calm down! What are you doing? Not all Aliens are our enemies!" Steve didn't draw his weapon, he just raised his hands to show that he wasn't hostile. He knew Kurohane had just come from the battlefield of New York, and suddenly seeing a blue-skinned Alien, he might be having a PTSD episode. As a veteran, he understood this very well!
Kurohane merely nudged Rocket's gun barrel with his head, then smiled at Rocket and said, "Is this the first brain of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the legendary Rocket who's smarter than Tony Stark?"
Rocket: (shocked, then slightly puffed up). This guy has good taste! He speaks well too, it seems this really is a misunderstanding!
His mood immediately improved greatly, and the muzzle that was originally pointed at Kurohane's head moved slightly back. "That's right, it's me! Quickly release Nebula, she's not our enemy!"
"No, she is our enemy." Kurohane winked at Rocket, and then began to explain to them why he was doing this. "Rocket, since you're so smart, what modifications were done to Nebula's body, you must have been involved in them, right? Come and check, is there any of your handiwork on this Nebula?"
Only then did Rocket Raccoon discover that the Nebula in front of him looked slightly different from the one he knew. Overall, her modification technology was a bit outdated, like the technology level of several years ago. He touched Nebula's mechanical arm with his foot and found that a small mark he had deliberately left was gone! Rocket might not have a say in other things, but when it came to prosthetics, he, Rocket, was a true expert!
Thus, the muzzle of Rocket's gun, which had been pointed at Kurohane's head, now shifted to Nebula's head!
"Who are you?! Give me back my friend, you bitch!"
Slap!
Kurohane slapped Rocket gently, astonishing everyone!
Everyone: (eyes wide in shock). Is this guy really not crazy? Why did he slap Rocket for no reason?
Rocket was also stunned, his intelligent brain momentarily short-circuited and he couldn't react at all. Then Kurohane patted Rocket's head and said in a gentle tone, "Captain and great scientist, don't use foul language."
Rocket Raccoon suddenly reacted, baring his fangs and preparing to bite Kurohane, but the fur on his face immediately calmed, and he nodded seriously!
"You're right! I won't use foul language anymore!"
In just a few dozen seconds, Kurohane astonished everyone in the Avengers with his Telepathy. The bad-tempered Nebula was pressed to the ground and didn't resist at all, while the even more bad-tempered Rocket turned into a good baby. This was utterly impossible in Tony's eyes, but then he remembered the Angel wings Kurohane had spread over New York, he immediately accepted this arrangement, after all, he was an Angel, persuading people to do good was too normal!
Since he had already used Mind Control to control Nebula's mechanical brain, Kurohane also released her. Controlling her to tell everything she knew, and then the Avengers felt they had made a mistake again.
The future Avengers' plan was for the four-person team to go to New York in 2012 to find the Space Stone, Mind Stone, and Time Stone. The duo of Thor and Rocket would go to Asgard in 2013 to find the Reality Stone. Then at the 2014 time point, Nebula and Rhodes would go to Morag to find the Power Stone, and Black Widow and Hawkeye would go to Vormir to find the Soul Stone. However, the Power Stone and Soul Stone were not found, and the Avengers' plan was also known by Thanos from 2014.
So there was a high probability that... Thanos from 2014 now had two Infinity Stones in his hands!
